well I had a d nurse look at my graft today and it turns out there's a lot of scar tissue not letting my graft to run smoothly, however if they stick around it we found it will run just fine. I asked her if my vascular surgeon could do anything to repair the scar tissue and she said she didn't know that they may only be able to correct narrowing.
Anyone know if there's anything that can be done regarding the scar tissue? It's really hard and you can't feel a thrill there. I would say it's an aneurysm  but I don't know what one feels like. I don't have a way to take a pic of it or I would. I can't see so can't describe it but it's like a hemotobin and feels hard.
